First of all, the Silent Mode of the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X has a base clock speed of 1,480/1,582 MHz on the GPU and 11,000 MHz on the 11 GB of GDDR5X. Gaming Mode, on the other hand, has an increased base clock speed of 1,544/1,657 MHz on the GPU and 11,016 MHz on the GDDR5X. Finally, the OC Mode has the graphics card clocking at a base speed of 1,569/1,683 MHz on the GPU and 11,124 MHz on the GDDR5X.

As for its TwinFrozr VI cooling technology, MSI has introduced smooth heat pipes, Zero Frozr and airflow control to the graphics card. The square heat pipes located at the rear offer better heat transfer from the copper base plate, while the Zero Frozr puts the fan at a halt in low-load circumstances. The Zero Frozr feature also helps keep the noise to a minimum.

Finally, the airflow control makes use of technology deflectors that keep air moving to the heat pipes in order to maintain an overall low temperature. All of this contribute to a better gaming experience.

And while it may have changed a few things when it comes to how it looks, some things remain the same. It still has a twin-fan cooler and offers the iconic MSI red-and-black color scheme. Other features include a DVI port, two DisplayPorts and two HDMI ports. 

As for a release date, it is expected to roll out sometime in April.
